Hijab Scene #7 Mohja Kahf

Christmas: Portuguese greengages & Being Human, an anthology of poems by Neil Astley of BloodAxe Books.

Several Muslim women friends of mine have responded to the news today, appearing on TV, separating out the benefits for British Muslim women (& others) of speaking English from what is known about the causes of extremism.

I was given a wonderful book of poems by my daughter at Christmas. She read to me In Praise of Walking by Thomas A Clark.

I also found Hijab Scene #7 by Mohja Kahf, a Damascus-born American woman. Here it is.
